Most world religions have similar origins and cycles of development. Their differences reflect history and culture, as well as various philosophies and theologies. We will take a closer look at the
“Religions of the Book”– Judaism, Christianity and Islam – and
explore the Eastern faith traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto
and Confucianism. Our differences will inform our relationships;
what we have in common may inspire!

All classes 7 to 8:30 pm
The prayer of the Catholic Church is more than memorized
vocal prayers or the prayers we say at Mass. For over a thousand
years, the Church has developed rich prayer forms and unique
spiritualties, beautiful ways of approaching God in prayer and in
living out the Gospel. Join us as we examine the prayer, spiritual
paths and traditions of three great religious orders Ignatian,
Franciscan, and Benedictine.

Along with an opportunity to discover the biblical tradition and
the historical application in the history of the church, this short
course reflects on a contemporary theology as presented in the
writings and speeches of Pope Francis. At the same time we
will discern a shape for the practice of mercy in our everyday
Christian lives.

A Short History of the Catholic Church
in North Carolina
Sr. Mary Hugh Mauldin, RSM, MA
Wednesdays, Feb. 4, 11, 25
7 to 8:30 pm
St. Peter’s Catholic Church Biss Hall
From one Catholic person in the state in 1775 to the largest
Catholic parish in the US in 2014; from no diocese in 1923 to two
dioceses in 1972; how did the Church in North Carolina come to
be? Who are the persons who contributed to the establishment
and growth of Catholicism in this once mission territory? On
whose shoulders do we stand as Catholics? This three-week course
explores the establishment and growth of the Roman Catholic
Church in North Carolina and is held at historic St. Peter’s, the
first Catholic Church in Charlotte.

“Even when you turn grey, I will…” (Is. 46:4)
Susan Brady, MA
Fridays, Feb. 6, 13, 20, 27
10 to 11:30 am
St. Matthew Catholic Church New Life Center Banquet Room
What does the Old Testament have to say about old age? Anything
encouraging? Does it hold out any promises for the golden years?
Is there anyone we can look to and say, ‘I'd like to be like him or
her’? Does it delineate a path, that if taken, insures a happy
ending when youth has gone and the big sag sets in? “Speak, you
who are old” (Sirach 32:3) to us who are growing so.
It is easy to feel “spiritual” and to pray when one is feeling
peaceful, loving and inspired. What about the times in our life
when we have doubts, shame, lust, anger, revenge and other
dark thoughts and emotions? This retreat day reflects on how
those times can be just as, or even more, transforming. We will
reflect on how the neurology of the brain impacts these states,
and we will use mindfulness (contemplation experiences) to
pray through them.

Brew Like a Benedictine
Mark Bartholet, MA
Two Sessions:
Fridays, Feb. 6, 27
7 to 10 pm
Feb. 6 at St. Matthew Catholic School Cafeteria
Feb. 27 at Belmont Abbey
No se puede ser plenamente un católico cristiano si se vive al
margen de la vida sacramental, o si sólo se recibe alguno de
los sacramentos. ¿Cuántas personas hoy en día les gustaría
perdonar y ser perdonadas? ¿Ser sanadas de heridas emocionales, liberarse de vicios y adicciones? ¡Pero no pueden!
Es que el ser humano no puede conseguir su libertad espiritual por fuerza propia; necesita ayuda; necesita a Dios. Así
como cuando el cuerpo se enferma y ya no le sirven los
remedios caseros, tiene que ir al doctor para que le ayude a
recuperar la salud. De igual manera, en la vida espiritual se
necesita la ayuda divina.
Jesucristo ha venido para que tengamos vida, y vida en
abundancia. Ven y conoce la riqueza de los sacramentos y
cómo conseguir esa paz y alegría que tanto anhelas. Todos
son bienvenidos.
Benedictines and beer is a partnership made in heaven. Over
the two nights we will learn the basics of beer making, brew
an original abbey ale with a local expert, explore the historic
relationship between monks and beer, and hear from the
monks themselves. The first night we are joined by Conor
Robinson, head brewer at Birdsong Brewing, who will share his
expertise while we brew an abbey style ale. The second session
meets at Belmont Abbey to experience Benedictine prayer,
hear from the monks, and bottle our original beer.
